Bioaerio Pellas (Βιοαέριο Πέλλας) is an EU Jessica sponsored biogas power plant operating in the renowned province of Macedonia in Greece. It handles waste from pasteurized abattoirs, manure, vegetable and cheese waste from nearby food processing plants; transforming it into sustainable green energy. By-products include organic fertilizer that is distributed to local farmers, contributing to increased yields and environmental safety.
The large quantities of biogas produced and stored in these facilities are highly flammable. A fire incident could cause devastating effects to the unit’s infrastructure and pose a serious threat to the personnel Health & Safety. Fire risks are amplified from sources of ignition such as electrical equipment. Thus, Electrical Panels and Substations, contributing to the production process, are critical equipment that must be protected. Fire in these devices can cause serious collateral damage and consequently threaten disruption of operations.
Design, supply, install, commission and maintain a reliable fire detection and fast reaction fire suppression system for protecting the electrical panels that are part of operations. This system needs to be designed under European compliance parameters and be effective against particular classes of fire as the material for fuel in this project can vary. It is also critical that the system reacts swiftly so that the possibility of fire related disruption of assets is minimised in order for operations to resume as speedily as possible.
FirePro’s intelligent fire protection system can be integrated with the site’s existing control system architecture, enabling the identification of any potential fire alarm signal, in real time. During discharge the system also ensures a power and ventilation cut off. Lastly, FirePro products, are safe to be released in the environment and do not detrimentally affect human health. The Units have a 15 year product life, with minimal associated maintenance costs. Overall, modularity, efficiency and very high standards were decisive factors.
Bioaerio engineers chose the FirePro fire suppression solution since it combined all the operational and technical specifications required for the project as well as a low financial burden for maintenance. FirePro Hellas personnel designed and carried out the installation within days. FirePro systems unobtrusively protect assets and of course people, ready to spring into action, when called upon, to supress fire within seconds helping to reduce downtime to a minimum.
